What did you do on or to your CB 1100 today

[pdedse]

Set out to ride to the coast today; planned on hugging the northside of the Columbia River on the WA side and then head back across the river at Astoria, follow the coast south for a couple of hours and back east to the Portland area.  With an expected high of 85 today, I figured my mesh jacket and liner, a short sleeve and long sleeve shirt would be enough.  

It wasn't!

I got over halfway to the coast on hiway 4 and the 15mph winds coming off the waters of the Columbia felt way too cold for late June.  


My teeth were chattering and I was shivering...just didn't seem right.  But as I neared Cathlamet, I remembered there was a ferry crossing that would take me to hiway 30 and then head home with my tail between my legs.  

Waiting for the 10am ferry crossing


About 10 cars, 4 cyclists and one cb1100 rider.  $4 for me, $3 for the others two wheelers and $6 for the cars.  It would take 1.5 hours to ride from the north side to the south side of this point, 15 minutes on the ferry


A heavier liner or sweatshirt, or if I had left 2 hours later I would have been fine.  But today...was just not mentally prepared for a cold ride when I was expecting different.
